Editorial note — APPENDIX.

There was no castle at Wisbech during the conquest of the Isle, but there was no doubt an entrenched station, a “turf” castle—which the Normans constructed to command the river. The stone castle, which subsequently took the place of the entrenchment, was begun in the last year of William’s reign and was dismantled by Henry II. A private dwelling now occupies the site—and the run of the moat may be traced around it, by the Wisbech Museum, the “Castle Lodge,” and “Love Lane.” “Castle Hereward” is of the writer’s own building.
